Panzer Bonanza: 5000 Heroes & Generals Keys

Share this:

UPDATE: Having some odd issues with the key dispenser, looking into it.

Impressive multiplayer World War II project Heroes & Generals has reached its “hey, everyone, let’s beta test” stage, and we’d suggest you take a look. Reto-Moto have been working like heroes (and generals) for years and months to get this game into the state it is now, which is pretty impressive. You’ll glimpse a bit of that by taking a look at the video below, or indeed grabbing a key from here and playing it for yourself.

Try to go to game.heroesandgenerals.com, install the game and log in.
If that doesn’t work, please go to support.heroesandgenerals.com and send a support ticket.
EDIT – that is after you’ve registered with a valid betakey.

I get a “This IP address has already been used to take a key! In case you forgot it, your key is: xxxx” message, and when I try to use the key on their website it unsurprisingly says it has already been used. I am confused, it was the first time I requested a key and I’ve certainly not used it. Is there anything I can do about this? :S

I don’t know about the others but for me the issue was what megazver suggested; that I wasn’t logged in on RPS when trying to get a key. The moment I logged in it gave me a new key.
Edit: And to answer your questions, no to both. :)

If you could only play rifleman, its because it was a basic rifle squad sent to the fight by whoever moved the squad on the strategic map. To spawn in a tank, someone has to send tanks to the fight. Snipers require recon squads etc. You can also unlock different equipment for each squad, but the basic stuff is perfectly adequate.

My experience was largely the same, plus the technical issues. The community is quite toxic too. Everyone gets so defensive even though the point of a beta is to point out its flaws. Everyone seems to act as if the game is their baby.

Had fun playing it for the first time just after the holidays, i too spawned as a rifleman and ended up harassing a tank with grenades and pot shots while running in and out of buildings for a long while. He finally gunned me down, but i enjoyed pissing him off.

After that I decided to be a daredevil bicycle rider and hopped on my bicycle. Using the sprint key I was able to aggressively flank some riflemen who were in a copse of trees. My plan was to gun a few down, jump back on the bike and pedal off scot-free. Well, I ended up killing two, but when i jumped off my bike it either disappeared into the undergrowth/grass or fell through the world and I was soon back to the mud.

Are the FPS mechanics still as raw and wonky as they were a few months ago? What about lag?
I would participate in the beta more, but it’s just not fun…yet. I visit every 4-5 months to check out the changes.

They seriously need a “resend authentication e-mail” button. I accidentally deleted mine since it went in the spam folder and I wasn’t paying attention when I cleared it. Trying to login with the information I gave just gets a wrong information error, not anything that acknowledges I do have an account, just a not yet authenticated one. Oh well. Edit: my bad, the e-mail was merely delayed, I falsely assumed it had been in the spam folder I had just cleared when I didn’t see it in my inbox previously.

This and Aliens Colonial Marines are both in the running for “Homefront Award for Worst FPS of 2013.”

Seriously, game runs terribly, the interface is garbage, everything looks awful, the gameplay itself is like a super weak version of Red Orchestra (with the graphics levels of the original UT2k4 mod version of that), and it all runs out of a web browser for no goddamn reason.

I played the Firefall beta the other day, and was put off by how empty and barren that game was, but at least everything in it worked just fine. This gives me perspective on just how awful games can be. So, thanks for that, I guess?

Oh, and on top of that all, I left a mission to try to restart the client and see if it would run better (it didn’t seem to be responding to my graphics settings changes), and now it’s locked me out of playing entirely, presumably because I left early. So that’s cool.

Access to only one class, inability to initially equip anything other than a standard rifle and grenades unless you pay for it, a P2W system that favors heavy spenders in a freaking beta product, an abusive community, and horrible map design and gameplay mechanics.

It’s comparable to the condition Red Orchestra 2 was in during beta, but much much much worse. Uninstalled.

Registered to see for myself but the site is down for maintenance. How is the gameplay, closer to WW2OL, RO, and Arma with one-shot kills, or more like a CoD or PS with huge health bars? Do vehicles have health bars or armor penetration is modeled?
